PISCATAWAY — Another week, another Dish Network dispute that
will have an effect on Rutgers fans.

As the Scarlet Knights prepare for their home opener against Howard on
Saturday at noon, it has been announced that Dish Network will not air the game
in New Jersey.

"The Rutgers-Howard game will not be seen on DISH Saturday
in the state of New Jersey," the Big Ten Network said in a statement. "DISH is
the only major pay-TV provider to reject BTN's offer to make Rutgers games on
BTN available to its customers within the state. All other major pay-TV
providers in New Jersey will carry Rutgers
games."

The Dish Network released a statement about the issue with the Big Ten Network.

"Big Ten Network is requiring that DISH pay a significant
additional charge to carry University of Maryland and Rutgers University home
games in their home states," the Dish Network said in a statement. "We are
unwilling to pass these costs on to our customers."

Rutgers is scheduled to play Penn State (Sept. 13) and Michigan (Oct. 4) on the Big Ten Network.
